Hi. I am looking at these wheels at tirerack. They are called the AT Italia Inox. I like the stainless face with black accent finish.
Here is a pic:

I have a couple questions.
1. Does anybody have this wheel? If so, how durable is it and its finish? I want a wheel that has some shine to it but am trying to stay away from chrome becasue my last set of TSW's started peeling about 1 1/2 years in. ON tirerack, it says a good alternative to chrome. Is it really?
2. Can I expect the painted black accents or that stainless face to peel? I am hoping that the wheel will be durable past the 2 year warranty on the finish. It is hard to see in the first pic (with the black background) but here is the wheel in silver w/ no black accents:

I like the wheel but wanted to throw it out to the forum to see if anyone has any comments or experiences with these wheels. I'd prolly go with the 19 inchers vs. the 18.
Tirerack salesman told me they will fit perfectly on my magnum...though I remember reading here that I may have to take some spacer out ( or something) to get the wheel on? Would I have to do anything besides take the other wheels off and put the mounted and balanced wheels on in this case??
Thanks for any insight on these wheels. I can't paste a link to the wheel, but if you go to tirerack, plug in 2005 Magnum SXT RWD, and check the wheels, the AT Italia Inox is on the third page as you scroll through the wheels. Then if you click on "more info" the page shoots up more info on the wheel.
Thanks again for any help here.
